    Keith, A great looking build. I'm starting on one in a few days and hope to post build logs. This will be my first wood ship build. Hope it works out as well as yours. Have a great / safe Thanksgiving. Tony

    Cajun - Thanks for the post and build notes. The first plank board looks good. Appears you got the shape just right. All your build posts will definitely be referenced during my build. Keep up the good work. Tony

    I guess this is where to post my comments. New to Model Ship World. Wow! What timing. I was considering purchasing and building this kit as my first plank build. Looking forward to following your build log. Looks good. I'm proceeding on my office - hobby room. Should be ready in March. Can't wait to start on this kit. Model Expo has the kit with tools/paints, etc. on sale this week for about $36 with free shipping for orders over $75. Others should check it out. Looking to your next post. Tony

    Great job Pete. This is going to be my first planked model, and I will post a build log. I can't open your final photos for some reason. Please help. Tony

    Thanks to all for your encouraging comments and suggestions. You've made me feel very welcome, and I look forward to learning from your ship modelling experiences. I will post build logs of whatever kit I start in the future. I'm in the process of remodeling a spare bedroom into my office / hobby shop. Thanks again, and have a good week and New Year.

    Hi! To all. I've been fully retired for a year now, and plan to start my first planked ship model. I did complete a solid hull Endeavour sail boat kit #CON80417 in 2000. Turned out okay but was a challenge since I've only built model cars of all scales my whole life. I have several questions, which I hope this is the proper place to address them. If not please advise. Here they go. 1. Which of the following kits I've squired away over the year should I build first. Suggested kits not listed are welcome. : Mamoli America MM4; Model Shipways (MS) HMS Bounty Launch MS1850; Lifeboat MS0108; MS 18th Century Longboat MS1457; MS Pinnace MS1458; MS Phantom MS2027; Artesana Latina (AL) Swift Boat Pilot #22110; AL Mare Nostrum Fishing Trawler #20100;MS Bluenose MS1447; Corel Sloop SM43W; AL Scottish Maid AL2032 AL Clara May #20405; Gretel MV33. I did searched the build logs, but came away a bit confused since I don't have any ship building skills and want to finish what I start. 2. My model shop will be in a second floor bedroom, so I need recommendations on a paint /dust booth vented outside. Will the Ningbo Haosheng HS-E420DCK sold by Model Expo work? Other suggestions are welcomed. Thanks for listening. Tony from York PA

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
